Killing driveway weeds with bleach. Dilute or not?

Purchase the vinegar from a home store or hardware store where you will find a much higher percentage marked on the bottles. It will cost more, but is much more concentrated in strength.

I have actually just sprinted salt in the weedy cracks of my driveway.

Bleach may stain some driveway surfaces.

Selective herbicides ( won't harm grass) can be purchased at most retail venues —if you do not wish to use commercial chemicals preparations -there are diy homemade alternatives that may be considered.

Recipes using natural household products can be a way to eliminate your weeds, these very helpful links from Hometalk are a great a great synopsis.

Here's what we use and it really works. Sometimes have to hit the weeds twice, but I like there are no chemicals in the recipe

This is the formula I use and it works every time:

I use 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of Dawn. Spray on weeds in the morning on a sunny day. The sun seems to help cook the weeds.

Be advised that using bleach to kill weeds is likely to raise your soil's pH level. Growing plants, shrubbery and other types of greenery may be made more difficult with raised pH levels. Do not mix bleach with other household cleaners. Mixing bleach with vinegar is especially dangerous. Using bleach to kill weeds may affect insects in your garden.

You need to mix the vinegar with epsom salt to kill the weeds

Bob Vila says undiluted! It is the third picture/blurb on this site:

The struggle is real, isn't it?!? This is the most effective all-natural weed killer DIY that we use. It's even been featured on Hometalk and pinned thousands of times! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

I would not use bleach especially since you have used vinegar - bleach and vinegar do not mix well and can be toxic. Buy a weed killer in a spray bottle and use that.

A little variation on the pinkfortitude recipe is 1 gal white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup dish soap. Put it in a pump up sprayer and spray directly on weed near the ground. Use the salt in the mix if you don't want things to grow there like flowers. Delete the salt and just use the vinegar and dish soap.

Since 30% Vinegar costs $20-26 a gallon (Home Depot was 20), it’s cheaper to buy real weed killer for the driveway.

I did do the cheap vinegar, salt, detergent and added 16 Oz of Pinolin (spelling?).

It works fairly well.
